Today we head to our first hotel in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee - in style for getting the feel of the Southern States.

Smoky Mountains National Park

Early in the morning, our photo adventure continues through the Smoky Mountains National Park. We'll make a stop at Dave Crockett's Birthplace State Park, where we will find out more about the hunter, politician, businessman and the legendary hero. We plan to spend the night in Boone.

Biltmore Estate

On the Blue Ridge Parkway, we will pass by Little Switzerland in the western mountains of North Carolina. Afterwards we will visit Biltmore Estate, built by George Vanderbilt as a place to escape everyday life. We will spend the night in the town of Asheville.

Tail of the Dragon

Highlight of the day is the world-famous piece of the US129 in the Smoky Mountains - best known as the "Tail of the Dragon". With 318 curves in 11 miles, it is a must for everyone.

Chattanooga Choo Choo

Today we head towards the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel with its Tennessee Valley Railway Museum. If possible, we will spend the night in style in this unique hotel.

arrow down Day 7: Chattanooga > Lawrenceburg

Jack Daniels Distillery

On today's program we will find the town of Lynchburg in Tennessee with its 5,200 residents. Pictures of the town show old men with weathered faces sitting in the sun, playing cards and waiting. Waiting for the whiskey to mature in the large casks in the warehouse behind them and then to be filled in bottles. Lynchburg has become world famous through the Jack Daniel's Distillery. In an extensive tour of the distillery, we will learn more about the national drink of the Southern States.

arrow down Day 8: Lawrenceburg > Memphis

Elvis Presley, Memphis

We will stay in Tennessee and travel into the metropolis of the classic Southern States, to Memphis. The city greatly contributed to the development of the blues, soul and rock'n roll.

Elvis Presley Graceland

One of the most famous symbols in America is certainly Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis. We will take part in an unforgettable sightseeing tour that tells us about Elvis' life, his music and his love for cars. Even after 35 years it is sure for many that Elvis still is the King. Those who want to tape a record like Elvis himself will have the opportunity to do so at Sun Records in the Beal Street.

arrow down Day 10: Memphis > Nashville

Grand Ole Opry, Nashville

Our photo tour takes us through blossoming country sides of the Southern States to the Cumberland River and to the capital of Tennessee, to Nashville. At the Grand Ole Opry we will take part in a backstage tour of all the 18 wardrobes and, if possible, in a live radio show with legends, new stars and superstars of country music.

>>> All Reuthers Photo Tours convey the peculiarities of landscape photography and portrait photography with corresponding motifs. You learn more about the look for graphic accents and different perspectives as well as the use of different focal lengths. Finally, it is subtleties that lead to an individual photograph. For early risers we have the sunrise in the program - for night owls the sunset. And, of course, we will discuss the photo shoots of the participants in the tour group and award the best photo at the end of a Reuthers Photo Tour <<<
